£1,450.00

A first edition, first printing published by Chatto and Windus in 1926. A good copy with staining to the boards and repairs to the spine ends and corners. No inscriptions. Probably a good candidate for rebinding. Matthew Bruccoli, Fitzgerald’s bibliographer, notes that just 3,000 copies of the UK edition were printed, compared to the 20,000 examples of the first American printing. Those 3,000 copies were bound in two different cloths–navy and maroon–navy having established priority. This in the later, cheaper blue binding. Rare. Now in a custom-made solander box.
